Cheap (GREAT) Haircut!

I went to Kim's school (Dallas Robert's) last night, and she gave me the most gorgeous haircut and style. The best part was that it only cost $5.00. So, you all should stop by sometime and let her practice on you. I posted a few pictures to show you the greatness of it all!

Happy Birthday Grandpa and Ange

For those of you who couldn't make it to the birthday party, I thought I would post some pictures. But, the video is what will give you a REAL feel for the Stoker fun that you missed out on. Can't wait until Thanksgiving when we can all be together!

Kayden is thinking, "I'm not into Sesame Street today!"

The cakes that Grandma made!

Kim and Kevin

Laughing at something (I'm sure it wasn't g-rated either)

Day After Thanksgiving

The day after Thanksgiving Grandma and Grandpa are going to have a picture with their children and spouses if the spouses can come. If spouses can't come then just the children.

We love you all and can't wait to see you at Thanksgiving! Assignments for Thanksgiving will be coming soon.

Love,
Grandma and Grandpa

Some of you were wondering what to plan on for Swimming Prices.

Under 3 - FREE(Must provide own swim diaper)

These are the rates they gave us for a group of 30 or more people!

~Just Swimming~

3-12 years- $3.50

Adult -$3.50

Swimming w/ Slide Pass(must be 42")

6-12 years -$7.00

Adult - $7.00

They also have a weekend pass so that you can swim and/or slide both Friday and Saturday. Normally it is $15 but I am not sure what the discount is for our group. Grandpa thought that maybe it was $13. We will just have to see when we get there.

Reunion Craft

I thought it would be fun to make little Hairflowers at the reunion.I have lots of flowers all different sizes and colors as well as the glue and glitter spray.

I only have a few clips and ribbons. Feel free to bring other items to go along with this activity ie. buttons, gems, flowers of your choice and other hair clips.

Thanks ~Eileen
